Cyrano de Bergerac
1990
Roxane: Speak. I'll listen. Christian: I love you. Roxane: Yes, talk to me of love. Christian: I love you. Roxane: That's your theme. Embroider it. Embroider it. Embroider it! Christian: I love you so much. Roxane: Yes. And then? Christian: And then... I'd love you to love me. Tell me you love me. Roxane: You give me milk instead of cream. Say how you love me. Christian: I love you... so much! Roxane: Unravel your feelings! Christian: Your throat! I want to kiss it! Roxane: Christian! Christian: I love you. Roxane: Again? Christian: No... I don't love you. Roxane: That's better. Christian: I worship you. Roxane: Oh no.
Cyrano: My nose precedes me by fifteen minutes.
Cyrano: My dear love, I never loved you!
Cyrano: I made a mess of everything, even my death.
Cyrano: My life's work has been to prompt others and be forgotten. Remember that night when Christian came to your balcony? That moment sums up my life. While I was below in the shadows, others climbed up to kiss the sweet rose.
